Okay, my last blog had some comments about race representation in it. Not 24 hours goes by and I found this gamasutra article.

To sum up, Dues Ex (the new one), has a garbage diving heavy accented character in it... the character also happens to be black and female. Yeah, you can see where all the fireworks went off with this one.

The comments quickly get summed up as either

1) The character is in bad taste

2) This is the most offending racist character since black people in RE5!

3) Racism doesn't exists - I don't see anything wrong.

I would like to add a 4th. When I watched the video I saw a person that was struggling for life, that was extemely helpful to me as an 'ex captain' and very nice to talk to. She also was smart in that she gave out clues to get around the city and find new ways to 'play the game'. I even felt sorry for her in some regard because of her circumstances, but if I potrayed her further (beyond the game mechanics) she would be a character that would be humble enough to try to keep at it on her own.

I also found the voice acting for both characters took a bit to ignore, but especially the White guy. No really I did. I really think the only crime with this whole scene is there are people that can't see the good in people and are looking to be offended.

Anyhow, what are your thoughts. Keep it civil please, we are all humans.
